Hi,

I backed up some files, all my contacts, messages and phone call log on my computer via PC Companion. My phone is an Xperia SL ICS (.45)

After a factory-reset, I set up all the Android settings again to my taste, and then restored the backup.

After backup was completed I was instructed to restart the phone and did so. When I turned the phone on it got stuck in the "XPERIA" boot screen forever so I turned it off with the power and volume up key and turned it on again.

It immediately sprung back to life. I then went into the phone app to see if I have my phone log and contatcs back - and indeed I had everything - for a second! After which some of the contact names simply disappeared, leaving the numbers on the log while other contacts remained with the names and everything!

Another thing is that the files haven't been restored as well! Needless to say PC Companion reports the restoration was successful....

I tried to do another restore and the results were the same - except there was no problem when booting the phone...

Please help me get my contacts back :(

Thanks

EDIT:

I also tried the solution described in this thread over at Sony Talk: talk.sonymobile.com/message/231544#231544

But it's not working for me...

I'm trying to reinstall Google Play Services as some apps - like and expecially - youtube doesn't work anymore...

I tried to uninstall (the apk is in /system/app, maybe from JellyBlast?), linking to sd and then remove.. Nothing.

In Google Play, when I try to install (is in the folder but not seems to be installed) says "conflict with other apps that share the same ID" (or something similiar)

I think the only solution is to push again in the phone via adb but I'm not very sure about the commands.

Well I got my nexus 7 the other day and it has some light bleed. So I guess my question is, is that normal or should I take it back for another to get one without light bleed.

I would say so. If you just bought the device, it should still be under warranty - bring it back, and get it switched out.

*Moved from Kindle Fire HD folder*

Hi,

I have a kindle fire 2, where I have installed CM10 (from Hashcode).

When I flashed I used a homemade factorycable, and successfully booted into fastboot and flashed TWMP and new ROM.

After this I have not been able to connect the device to a PC via USB. Whatever I do, Windows always detects it as an "Unkown Device".

Obviously I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but when I choose the correct android_winusb.inf I get an error mesage saying that driver is not compatible.

This applies to ADB and Fastboot. When looking in Device Manager > Unkown Device > Details and check property I get this:

Device Description = Unknown Device

Hardware IDs = USB\UNKNOWN

Device Instance Path = USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\6&29F11EF&0&6

Parent = USB\VID_8087&PID_0024\5&2181e07&0&1

Siblings = USB\VID_0930&PID_6545\00188B15E297EC1076C10180

Can VID/PID change when flashing a new ROM?

Shouldn't fastboot work as it used to?

My biggest fear now is that my homemade factorycable have shorted something that shouldn't be shorted, causing the USB to malfunction.

I have tried draining the battery without any luck.

I can boot into CM10, TWRP and fastboot, but I can not find the device via USB in any of these.

I am open to any suggestions at this point.

Greetings

I have a Nexus 7 (wifi only) with JB 4.2.1 and I'd like to know if there is any custom rom or kernel that supports ad hoc connections, I want to connect the N7 to joikuspot on my nokia 808.

BTW I already tried bluevpn and not all android apps supports it, and already got connectify-me on my desktop computer, I need to connect the N7 with my phone since I travel very often and not everywhere I can find wifi spots.

Thank you in advance

Ad Hoc for Nexus 7

First, being a noob I want to say thanks for all the great info provided on this forum. It's a big help to someone like me who's just learning.

CARUPANBOW,

I need this also. I’ve spent several hours searching for a solution and have found nothing. It’s already been discussed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1787680&page=7 on XDA so maybe that why no one has responded. The links below are to other discussions about this, but so far I have not found a way to force my Nexus 7 to connect to an Ad Hoc network. I’m still hopeful.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CARUPANBOW:
Thank you

Thank you very much for answering my post, I'm a noob too :( and besides I felt ignored, I have to confess this is my first android device, and I have spent many hours too to figure out a solution.

I checked the post you mentioned, some of those websites too and also checked the android issues #82 and #35629 at code.google.com

So far i've been able to connect to my nokia 808 via joikuspot, but like in bluevpn some apps are not working, here is what I did:

1) I have the JB 4.2.1 rooted on my device

2) I downloaded this kernel and applied it https://github.com/monk-dot/SPAN/blob/master/kernels/ASUS%20Nexus%207/myupdate-nexus7.zip

3) Since the nexus stock rom doesn't include the wpa_cli command I found this one http://pic-e-bank.com/android/Droid/Kernels/Froyo/Slayher/slayher_wifi_fix.zip Extracted the file and copied it into the folder /system/bin (set permissions to 755).

4) Found this patched wpa_supplicant file from this post "[JB] wpa_supplicant for adhoc wifi networks" and copied it into the folder /system/bin (made a backup first of the original file and set the permissions of the new wpa_supplicant to 755).

5) With a terminal app (using adb also works) I followed this guide: http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android to set up the ad hoc network to my nexus 7 manually.

And Eureka! I could connect my nexus to my nokia 808 hotspot, however I couldnt see any infrastructure networks anymore, the solution was to revert back to the original wpa_supplicant, so I'm thinking about making two command scripts to set up my ad hoc connection and revert it back whenever I need to connect to a different network (you can check this guide).

BTW, there are some custom roms that include the wpa_cli command, but I tried some of them and they didn't detect my hotspot until I replace the wpa_supplicant file with the patched one.

I'm no android expert but I think the problem with ad hoc connections is a kernel/wpa_supplicant issue, i guess at some point google decided to take out the support for IBSS networks, however the linux kernel still supports it, i really wish some expert could take a look into it.

I hope you find this info useful, but this is not a final solution and I'll still work into it whenever I can.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emgo:
Ad Hoc for Nexus 7

That’s great! At least you have provided something that works. It’ll take me some time to replicate what you did. I am going give it a try.

Thanks,

Ken
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CARUPANBOW:
Thank you very much :)

Also I found out the networks settings are stored in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf instead of /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

reading this post Edit wpa_supplicant.conf instead of wpa_supplicant I managed to manually edit my ad hoc network settings, so the wpa_supplicant.conf would be like this

ap_scan = 2

network={
ssid="JOIKUSPOT"
scan_ssid=1
priority=10
mode=1
wep_key0="12345"
key_mgmt=NONE
}

And you have to give the ownership back to system.wifi using abd/terminal:

#chown system.wifi data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

For now im trying some customs roms to see if they can detect the ad hoc network out of the box, but so far I can only do it by replacing the wpa_supplicant and flashing the custom kernel from my previous post.

I'll keep posting my findings and try some other custom kernels as well.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CARUPANBOW:
Just a quick heads up

I've updated my n7 to rootbox v2.0 (comes with JB 4.2.2) and now I cannot connect it to my hotspot with my previous method, after checking my /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file now shows this line:

network={

ssid="JOIKUSPOT"

.

.

disabled=1

}

What the heck does this mean? seems to be that the more I update my tablet the harder is getting to connect it to my ad hoc network, this makes me think maybe google wants to erradicate ad hoc wifi support from the OS, to me this is dumbest thing I ever heard since this tablet is WIFI only, isn't supposed to support ANY wifi network it finds in order to work properly? other OS like iOS or Symbian does still support it. Just the fact that i cannot use my tablet the way I want it to is very disappointing, and now I face two options: 1) Downgrade the tablet and never let it update again. 2) Install ubuntu and never again install android.

Im very sorry to say this but this is my first android device and my experience with it is very unsatisfactory, sometimes I wish I could get a refund and try the iPad mini or wait for any decent windows rt tablet.

For now I think i'm going for my option 2, tomorrow ubuntu will release the tablet version of their OS for the nexus 7, ill check it out and ill tell you my experience with it.

Please, if someone knows any of the senior contributors/developers of this community, please make them notice this issue, its almost unbelievable that ad hoc support haven't been fixed from android since issue #82, the original linux kernel supports it, and then google stripped it out and nobody got a response about this in the forums/groups, I know this is not an easy task, cause the android SDK doesnt support it either, also that you have to add the IBSS driver into the kernel and patch the wpa_supplicant file to stop filtering ad hoc networks, I still dont know if many people have requested this feature why even the modding community for android havent come with a concrete solution for this, there are a lot of kernel modders out there and I could find only one kernel that would work for me. I have to say that the most frustrating part of this situation is the lack of answers from the forums, I know this post already reached 1000 views, this means there's people still looking for an answer like me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antxxxx:
I have been trying lots of things on my new nexus 7 running 4.2.2 to try and get ad hoc networking working.

I have tried all the wpa_supplicant files I can find and even tried patching and compiling (using modified patches from h t t p://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/) my own with no luck.

There are some musings at h t t p://szym.net/2010/12/prospects-of-ad-hoc-wifi-in-android/ saying we may never got it

[HTC Droid DNA] TechSavvy2:
Unfortunately for you, everything you listed works fine on my DNA. It displays a notification on the icon, when you send a message it shows a pending thing in the messaging app till its sent, it previews the text messages on the lockscreen so you may read them and you can open directly to it.

If none of that works for you, try clearing your app data or even resetting your phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] Cerides:
The HTC messaging app doesn't have the check marks or the bubble skin, thats just something that you will have to deal with until we get a custom ROM that has those options. For the notification issues, go for a full reset, return it and get a new one (cause something is obviously wrong), or install a good custom rom like Venom or UKB.

As for your issue with iCal not syncing, I used "SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar", it's not free ($1.99 I think) but it worked great for me. Just be sure to link your iCal with your iClould.
[HTC Droid DNA] Luigi711:
I use gosms and have no issues. I uninstall the stock messaging app though. Even before when I couldn't delete it. Never had any issues. I'd do a factory reset then mess with the setting in the messaging apps

Hello guys,

first of i want to say thx to the big collection of roms/kernels/etc to tune our beloved smartphones :)

Altough i am an experienced miui user, my phones (xperia ray) battery consumes too much energy and i dont know why...

On battery usage my phones shows that Android OS is responsible for taking 81% of the energy, since i replaced my old miui version with [ROM][GB\ICS][21/Jan/13] MIUI2 \ MIUI4 RAY Aroma [2.4.20 \ 3.1.18 Multi-Lang]. I also did flash a new kernel on top of my old.

Is this a known bug? How can i fix this if its not a bug?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
It probably means that your phone is not going into sleep mode and/or something keeps waking it up. Sometimes just reflashing the ROM will fix it, sometimes you need to track down what is responsible for the drain. An app like betterbatterystats (you can find it for free on xda) will help you a lot.

Is there anything else that is also a really high battery drainer. Google Maps?

In my Unofficial Slim Bean Rom, the Kernel is taken from CM10.1 sources (thanks Aremcee !).

Nothing has been removed or added in this Slim Bean Rom.

You can check the feature list here.

As a SlimRoms, you may missed somes apps. It's normal, it's a SlimRoms !

But Google Play has plenty of good apps...

Note

: this rom use GB Bootloader (aka the "Old Bootloader").

- Using the awesome Kowalski Kernel from Pengus77 is highly recommanded !

- If USB mass storage don't work, just install Android Terminal Emulator, and type these one by one :

=> this bug is solved with RC2.

- Keyboard FC, so use Slim Gapps (here) or install modified JB gapps by Raum1807 (here)

- Brightness CM10.1 bug => this bug is solved with RC2.

I'm not a dev or something else. So unfortunately, don't expect a big support from me.

I want to thank :

- Aremcee for his work on the P990,

- Raum1807 for his super CM10.1 guide,

- Temasek for his CM7 which I used a long time,
